The new Euroleague season is about to begin and with it, the new season in the Euroleague fantasy challenge! Enter the Eurohoops league, follow our advice and claim the big winner’s prize.
Like every year, this year Eurohoops hosts its own league in the Euroleague fantasy challenge, again with the same rules. Every reader can participate in the league with up to three teams. Whoever has more than three teams will have to choose which three they are going to keep until the start of the third week. Then, Eurohoops is going to erase every reader’s extra teams.
The league is called ‘Eurohoops league’ and the password is: eurohoops.
Eurohoops is arranging several surprises for its readers who follow the Euroleague from a… different perspective, always bearing in mind the fantasy challenge. Stay tuned and you’ll definitely be satisfied.
Before we go any further, however, with those surprises, let us present the players who appear to be the best options for every position according to their cost.
The new format of the Euroleague affects the fantasy challenge as well, as the teams are fewer and thus the available options in players are also limited. This year it’s hard to pick a player out as a must shortly before the start of the season. So, everything is a matter of instinct and a good combination of players. Of course, everyone would like to acquire Nando De Colo. But is it worth spending 100 credits from the very first week? We believe that it’s not, but certainly the decision is purely personal.
